Curran has made more than Root, Bairstow, Ali and Woakes combined. Plus one of the openers.

How's Boyd Rankin's bowling these days? Would've thought Curren and Broad would rather face this from Thompson than anything he has to offer.

Not quite the score I was expecting when I clicked on the BBC to check. Man alive!

Pitch doing a bit, rank bad batting or both?
It's doing a little bit, the batting's been horrible, and the bowlers have done really well.

I can't say I'm looking forward to Broad bowling too short on this track.

Well he's definitely still better than Thompson but the ball is still doing a bit and Thompson gets more movement. Could also just be that Rankin wants the other end and there's going to be a change there soon too.

This is very similar to the first innings of the first Test in the WI earlier this year. England have some real issues with their Test batting ATM.

Please get this jammy **** out

Also lol, England still $1.30 favourites. Bookies putting this down to the pitch

england constantly playing in front of themselves might be a symptom of so much white ball cricket where these guys want to smash it combined with bringing this mindset to facing some medium pacers getting swing.

they might have actually scored a few more if this was 135+

I've only seen the dismissals and am very very biased but it looked more like good bowling than either bad batting or a nightmare pitch.
